CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a divisional of application Ser. No. 417,831 filed Dec. 11, 1964, now US. Pat. No. 3,377,- 336 which application Ser. No. 417,831 is in turn, a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 171,269 filed Feb. 5, 1962, now abandoned.

The present invention relates to novel and valuable dyestuffs; more particularly it relates to dyestuffs of the general formula In this Formula F denotes the radical of an organic dyestuff, A means a fiveor six-membered isocyclic or heterocyclic ring, X denotes hydrogen or an organic substituent, Y means hydrogen, halogen or an organic radical, halogen means a halogen atom, in a whole number and n a whole number from 1 to 3.

It is an object of this invention to provide new valuable dyestuffs and processes for their manufacture; another object is the provision of new fibre reactive dyestuffs which are particularly useful for the dyeing and printing of cellulose-containing textile materials. A further object is the provision of new dyestuffs which exhibit outstanding wet fastness properties when dyes or printed on OH-group containing materials according to methods known for fibre reactive dyestuffs. Still another object is "ice the provision of a method for dyeing textile materials, particularly cellulose-containing textile fibres with the novel fibre reactive dyestuffs. It is also an object of the invention to provide textile materials, particularly cellulose-containing fibres which are dyed and printed very fast to wet processing and which posses excellent general fastness properties. Other objects will become evident from the following description.

The dyestuffs of Formula I may belong to a great variety of classes, for example to the series of metal-free or metal-containing monoor polyazo dyestuffs, metalfree or metal-containing azaporphine dyestuffs, preferably phthalocyanine dyestuffs, anthraquinone, nitro, oxazine, dioxazine, triphenylmethane, azomethine, benzanthrone and dibenzanthrone dyestuffs as well as polycyclic condensation compounds of the latter.

In the dyestuffs of the general Formula I the radical malogen can be linked with the dyestuff molecule either directly or via optional bridge members. As bridge members there are to be mentioned for example sulfonamide, sulfonylamino, carbonamide, carbonylamino, alkylene, aralkylene, arylene, amino, alkyleneamino, aralkyleneamino, aryleneamino groups, amino groups which may be substituted by alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or acyl groups, bisacylimide groups such as bis-sulfonylamide groups and sulfonyl-carboxylimide or sulfonyl-triazinyl or -pyrirnidinyl groups, further urea and urethane groupings, heterocyclic ring systems such as triazinylamino and pyrimidinylamino radicals which may also exhibit reactive halogen atoms, as well as oxygen and sulfur atoms and the azo grouping.

The bridge member may connect the radical F with the ring system A either via two or via three linking positions whereby in the latter case, for instances a 5- or 6-membered ring which is condensed with the nucleus A and which contains exchangeable halogen atoms (e.g. a compound of Formula IV) may be reacted with amino group-containing dyestuffs.

As substituents X there are to be considered inter alia: optionally substituted alkyl, aralkyl and aryl radicals, sulfonic acid, carboxylic acid, halogen substituents, such as chlorine and bromine substituents, further nitro, hydroxy, alkoxy, cyano, sulfone and optionally substituted sulfonamide groups, acid ester groupings such as sulfonic acid and carboxylic acid ester groups and the like. Among the halogen substituents in the pyrazine radical, chlorine and bromine substituents are of special interest. In the case where Y represents an organic radical, the latter may be of any desired type, for example an optionally substituted alkyl group, an alkylamino-, aralkylarnino-, arylaminoor acylamino group, an alkylor aryl-sulfonyl-arnino group, further radicals of aliphatic and aromatic hydroxy or mercapt-o compounds. Of course, Y may also stand for the radical of a coloured component, that is to say of any desired dyestuff.

The new dyestuffs of the Formula I may be Watersoluble or also barely Or even insoluble in water, depending on the type of their substituents. The radical F may contain the substituents customary for the dyestuffs pres ent in each case, such as sulfonic acid, qarboxylic acid, optionally substituted sulfonamide, sulfone, alkylamino,

aralkylamino, arylamino, acylamino, nitro, cyano, halogeno, hydroxy, alkoxy, azo groupings and the like. The dyestuffs may moreover contain further groupings capable of fixation such as monoor di-halotriazinylamino, mono-, dior tri-halopyrimidinylamino, esterified sulfonic acid hydroxyalkylamide and esterified hydroxy alkylsulfone groups, vinyl sulfone, sulfofluoride, haloalkylamino and haloacylamino, epoxide, urethane, unsaturated haloalkylurethane, isocyanate, isothiocyanate groups and the like.

The new dyestuffs can be built up according to a variety of principles of preparation. For example, dyestuffs or dyestuff intermediates containing amino or amide groups and having a reactive hydrogen atom at the amine or amide nitrogen, can be reacted with compounds of the general Formula II which contain a reactive grouping, for example a carboxylic acid halide, sulfonic acid halide or isocyanate grouping, in the or 6-membered aromatic or heterocyclic nucleus A, and if dyestuff intermediates are used, the latter can be converted in a suitable manner into the desired final dyestuffs. In the opposite case dyestuffs or dyestuff intermediates which contain reactive groupings, for example in the form of sulfonic acid halide, carboxylic acid halide, urethane, ester, haloalkyl and similar groupings, can be reacted with those compounds of the Formula II which contain in the aromatic or heterocyclic nucleus A an amino or amide group with replaceable hydrogen and, insofar as dyestuff intermediates are used, the latter can again be converted into the desired final dyestuffs. In the case of production of azo group-containing dyestuffs, it is also possible to use such compounds of the general Formula II which are substituted in the nucleus A by a diazotizable amino group, to diazotize these components and to couple them in conventional manner with any desired coupling component and using them in this way for building up monoor polyazo dyestuffs.

When principles other than those described above are applied, for example with the formation of oxygen, sulfur or acid ester groupings, a number of further dyestuffs of the general Formula I are obtained according to equally well-known methods. Dyestuffs in which the radical of the Formula II is directly linked with F can be built up in the series of azo compounds for example by diazotizing an aminoaryl compound which contains the aryl nucleus directly linked with the 5- or 6-membered nucleus A of the compound of the general Formula II via a carbon-carbon bond, and possibly coupling with azo components.

Depending upon the number of appropriate groupings in the dyestuff radical or dyestuff intermediates to be considered for the conversion, one or more groupings of the general Formula II can be incorporated in the dyestuffs. In the majority of cases, the letter m will not exceed 4, but it is also possible to synthesize dyestuffs with more than 4, for example with up to 8 groupings of the Formula [[I, especially those of high molecular structure.

Some of the intermediate products of the Formula II are known from literature (c.f. e.g. Angewandte Chemie [1960], 72, page 973). From these some of the products suitable for the preparation of the final dyestuffs or dyestuff intermediates can be synthesized by subsequent introduction of the appropriate groupings, for example by sulfochlorination. In general, it is however advantageous to introduce the desired groups, for example carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid chloride, nitro, amino, amido or acylamino groups, into the nucleus A of the o-arylenediamino compound already before the ring closure to form the pyrazine ring. In this case, the process starts, for example, from a 1,2-diamino-benzoic acid, -sulfonic acid or a triaminobenzene compound (with at least two o-positioned amino groups) or from a derivative which is acylated or substituted at an amino group which shall not take part in ring closure, this compound is reacted with oxalic acid with the formation of a quinoxaline ring and the free hydroxy groups are converted into halogen substituents, if desired after conversion of the substituent contained in the nucleus A, in the case of a nitro group, for example, after reduction. Sometimes it is also possible to combine the conversion of the hydroxyl groups into halogen atoms in one step with a possibly desirable conversion of a substituent contained in the nucleus A, for example an amino group, for example by converting the amino group-containing dihydroxy compound with phosgene in the presence of dimethylformamide into the corresponding isocyanate group-containing dihalogeno compound. In the intermediate products or after formation of the dyestuffs of the formula halogen one of the two halogen substituents in the pyrazine ring can be converted into the radical of an organic compound by reacting it for example with aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic amino, hydroxy or mercapto compounds.

Among the great number of dyestuffs obtainable according to this process those products are especially easily obtained which are derived from amino groupcontaining azo dyestuffs of the benzene-azo-benzene, benzene azo-naphthalene, naphthalene-azo-naphthalene, benzene-azo-aminopyrazole and -pyrazolone series and of the hetero-azo-aryl series and the aminoanthraquinone series with nuclear-positioned and/or externally linked amino groups, by the reaction with compounds of the Formula II which contain in the 5- or 6-membered nucleus A a reactive grouping, for example a carboxylic acid chloride sulfonic acid chloride, isocyante, urethane, halotriazinylamino, halopyr-imidinylamino or also a dichloroquinoxalinoyl or dichloroquinoxalinoyl-methylene group. Likewise, an amino group-containing dyestuff or dyestuff intermediate can be combined in a simple manner with a dichloroquinoxaline containing an amino group in the nucleus A, by means of polyfunctional acylating agents, for example by reacting the amino group-containing starting components with phosgene, aliphatic or aromatic dicarboxylic acid halides, cyanuric halides or di-, trior tetra-halopyrimidine.

A special case of linking the radical of the Formula II with the dyestuff is attained by starting from a dihaloquinoxaline derivative with a condensed dihalo-pyrazine ring, having for example the formula and condensing in this compound at least one of the reactive halogen atoms with an amino group-containing dyestuff or dyestuff intermediate.

It will be understood that a great number of other starting components can be used in the preparation of the novel dyestuffs.

The new dyestuffs are valuable products which are excellently suitable for various purposes of application. As water-soluble compounds they are of special interest for the dyeing of nitrogen-containing and hydroxyl groupcontaining textile materials, especially of native and regenerated cellulose, wool, silk, synthetic polyamide and polyurethane fibres. On account of the reactive halogen substituents in the pyrazine radical, the products are particularly suitable as reactive dyestuffs for the dyeing of cellulose materials according to the techniques known for this purpose.

For the dyeing of natural and regenerated cellulose the dyestuffs are preferably used in an aqueous solution (III) which may be treated with substances having an alkaline reaction such as alkali metal hydroxide or alkali metal carbonate or with compounds convertible into substances of alkaline reaction such as alkali metal bicarbonate. Further auxiliaries may be added to the solution but they should not react with the dyestuffs in an undesirable manner. Additives of this kind are for example surfaceactive substances such as alkyl sulfates, substances preventing migration of the dyestuff, dyeing adjuvants such as urea which is to improve the solubility and fixation of the dyestuff, or inert thickening agents such as oil-in- Water emulsions, tragacanth, starch, alginate or methyl cellulose.

The solutions or pastes thus prepared are applied to the material to be colored, for example by padding on the foulard (short bath) or by printing, and subsequently heated to an elevated temperature, preferably 40-150 C., for some time. Heating can be effected in the hot flue, in a steaming apparatus, on heated rollers or by introduction into heated concentrated salt baths.

When using a padding or dyeing liquor without alkali the colored dry material is subsequently passed through an alkaline solution to which sodium chloride or Glaubers salt are added. The addition of salt prevents migration of the dyestuif from the fibre.

The material to be dyed can also be pre-treated with one of the aforesaid acid-binding agents, subsequently treated with a solution or paste of the dyestuif and, finally, fixed at an elevated temperature as described above.

In the so-called cold pad batch process, the subsequent heating of the padded fabric can be dispensed with by storing the fabric at room temperature for 420 hours. In this process sodium carbonate solution is preferably used as alkali.

For dyeing from a long liquor, the material is introduced into an aqueous solution of the dyestuif (goods-to-liquor ratio 1:5 to 1:40) at room temperature and dyed, if desired while raising the temperature up to 85 C. for 40-90 minutes with the addition in portions of salt, for example sodium sulfate, and subsequently of alkaline substances for example sodium phosphates, sodium carbonate or alkalies.

After fixation the dyed material is rinsed hot and, if required, finally soaped, thereby removing insufficiently fixed dyestuif residues. Dyeings of excellent fastness to wet processing are thus obtained.

For printing materials containing hydroxyl groups, a printing paste is used consisting of the dyestuif solution, a thickening agent, such as sodium alginate, and a compound having alkaline reaction or dissociating alkali on heating, such as sodium carbonate, sodium phosphate, potassium carbonate, potassium acetate or sodium and potassium bicarbonate, the printed material is rinsed and, if desired, finally soaped.

When the dyestuffs, in particular azo dyestuffs, contain groupings forming metal complexes, the fastness properties of the dyeings and prints can in many cases be improved by an after-treatment with metal-yielding agents such as copper salts, for example copper sulfate; chromium, cobalt and nickel salts such as chromium acetate, cobalt sulfate or nickel sulfate.

Textile materials containing amide groups such as wool, silk, synthetic polyamide and polyurethane fibres are in general dyed in the acidic to neutral range according to the dyeing methods conventionally used for this purpose whereby a final increase of the pH value of the dyebath to, for example pH 6.5 to 8.5 is sometime of advantage.

The dyestuffs are applied to a synthetic polyamide fabric, for example, as solutions or, preferably, in dispersed form and subsequently after-treated together with acid-binding agents in preferably small amounts, such as sodium carbonate. Especially advantageous results are achieved with dyestuffs which are insoluble or barely soluble in water. These are worked up according to conventional techniques and with the addition of known auxiliaries into a dyestuif dispersion and used as such in the dyeor padding-liquor or in a printing paste. Auxiliaries suitable for this application are inter alia compounds preventing the migration of the dyestuff on the fibre such as cellulose ether, alkali metal chlorides and sulfates; wetting agents such as condensation products from ethylene oxide and fatty alcohols or phenols, sulfonated fatty alcohols, solvents such as thiodiglycol; further thickeners such as starch, tragacanth, aliginate thickening, gum arabic etc.

After-treatment of the dyeings impregnations and prints obtained on polyamide fibre fabrics is preferably carried out at a temperature of 50-110 C. for 560 minutes. In the case where the dyestuffs employed contain groupings forming metal complexes, the fastness properties of the dyeings will sometimes be improved by treating the dyeings with metal-yielding agents such as copper salts, for example copper sulfate, or chromium, cobalt and nickel salts such as chromium acetate, cobalt sulfate or nickel sulfate.

The dyeings and prints obtainable with the dyestuffs on oellulosic material are, in general, distinguished by good to very good fastness properties, especially by exoellent fastness to Wet processing, such as to washing to boiling soda and furthermore to water, to rubbing and brushing, to light and in some instances to chlorine and to peroxide. The dyeings and prints on woollen fabrics possess very good fastness to washing, milling, sea-water, hot water and to light. Dyeings and prints on synthetic polyamide fabrics are distinguished by very good fastness to water, washing and light whereas dyeings and prints on synthetic polyester materials, particularly on polyethylene terephthalate, exhibit good fastness to sublimation, to Washing and to light.

The following examples are given for the purpose of illustrating the invention, the parts being parts by weight if not otherwise stated.

The reactive dyestufif thus obtained having the formula T 0 o@ j-o1 n 2 3 s02 HNQ SO Na \N/ 01 H is salted out, washed and dried under vacuum at -40 C. It is a dark blue powder dissolving in water with a blue colour and dyes cotton and regenerated cellulose according to one of the dyeing or printing processes mentioned above in clear blue shades of good fastness to Wet processing, rubbing and light.

A similar dyestuff is obtained by using, instead of 50 parts of the sodium salt of 1,3-diarninobenzene-4-sulphonic acid, parts of the sodium salt of 1,4-diaminobenzene-2-sulphonic acid and instead of 80 parts of 2,3- dichloroquinoxaline 6-carboxylic acid chloride, 60 parts of 2,3-dichloro-quinoxaline-6-isocyanate dissolved in 300 parts of benzene and by maintaining a pH of 77.5 (phos- ABBREVIATIONS FOR THE REACTIVE COMPONENTS AS IN THE TABLE OF EXAMPLE 3 Complex bound Example heavy Reactive N 0.

Instead of 96 parts of copper-phthalocyanine tetrasultional manner by the action of chlorosulphonic acid and phochloride, there may also be used 87 parts (referred to 100% material) of the copperor nickel-phthalocyanine trisulphochloride obtainable by the action of chlorosulphonic acid on copperor nickel-phthalocyanine, in the form of the moist suction-filter cake thoroughly washed with ice-water, the procedure otherwise being the same as in Example 64; reactive dyestuffs dyeing in clear blue shades are thus obtained.

When working as indicated in Example 64, but starting from 87 parts of copper-phthalocyanine trisulphochloride and using, instead of 50 parts of the sodium salt of 1,3- diamino-benzene-4-sulphonic acid, 90 parts of the sodium salt of 4,4-diamino-diphenyl-2,2-disulphonic acid or 90 parts of the sodium salt of 4,4'-diamino-stilbene-2,2-disulphonic acid, reactive dyestuffs are also obtained which dye cellulose materials according to one of the processes described above in clear blue shades fast to wet processing rubbing and light.

When starting from 4',4",4",4"" tetraphenyl Cuphthalocyanine, there is obtained, after sulphochlorination and reaction with l,3-phenyldiamine-4-sulphonic acid and acylation with 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride, a reactive dyestutf which dyes cellulose materials in the presence of acid-binding agents in clear green shades fast to wet processing and light.

Example 65 71 parts of the amino-anthraquinone dyestutf obtained by reaction of 1-arnino-4-bromo-anthraquinone-2-sulphonic acid with an excess of 4,4'-diamino-diphenyl-2,2- disulphonic acid are dissolved in 700 parts of water, 27 parts of finely powdered 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride are introduced at 20-30 C. with good stirring and a pH of 67 is maintained by the continuous addition of sodium carbonate solution. When amino groups can no longer be detected, the dyestuif of the formula H -S O sNa S O aNa l O N H- is salted out, washed and dried under vacuum at 40 C. The dyestuif dyes cotton and regenerated cellulose according to one of the processes indicated above in blue shades fast to wet processing, rubbing and light.

When proceeding as indicated in Example 65, but using, instead of the starting dyestulf there employed, equivalent amounts of one of the following derivatives of 1-amino-4- (aminoarylamino)-anthraquinone-Z-sulphonic acid, similar dyestuffs are obtained whose blue dyeings exhibit fastness properties similar to those of the dyestuff obtained above: 1 amino 4 (4'-amino-2-sulphophenylamino) anthraquinone 2 sulphonic acid, l-amino-4-(4'-aminophenylamino)-anthraquinone-2,6-disulphonic acid, isomer mixture of 1 amino 4-(4'-aminophenylamino)-anthra quinne-2,4- and 2,8-disulphonic acid, isomer mixture of 1 amino 4 (4-amino2'-sulphophenylamino)-anthraquinone-2,4- and 2,8-disulphonicacid, isomer mixture of 1 amino 4-(3'-aminophenylamino)-anthraquinone-2,5- and -2,8 disulphonic acid, 1 amino-4-(3-aminophenylamino)-anthraquinone-2,6-disulphonic acid, 1-amino-4- (3' amino 4'-sulphophenyl-amino)-anthraquinone-2- sulphonic acid. With 1-amino-4-(4'-[4"-amino-2-sulphophenyl1amino-phenyl) anthraquinone 2,6 disulphonic acid there are obtained reactive dyestuffs dyeing bluish grey shades.

Example 66 When proceeding as indicated in Example 47, but starting, instead of from the copper-containing aminomonoazo dyestuff there employed, from the equivalent amount of the chromium complex of the aminoazo dyestuff obtained by coupling diazotized 1-amino-2-hydroxy-3-chlorobenzene-S-sulphonic acid with 1-[3-(3"-aminophenyl)-sulphonylimido sulphonyl] phenyl-3-methyl-pyrazolone- (5), a reactive dyestutf is obtained which dyes cellulose materials according to one of the processes described above in yellow-brown shades of good fastness to wet processing, rubbing and light.

Example 67 Into a solution of 36.5 parts of the sodium salt of lamino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulphonic acid in 200 parts of water, 23 parts of finely powdered 3- or 2-monochloroquinoxaline-6 carboxylic acid chloride of B.P. 138- 139 C./0.28 mm. Hg are introduced with good stirring and the mixture is stirred at 40 C. while continuously neutralising the hydrochloric acid set free by maintaining a pH value of the mixture of 3-6; stirring is continued until free amino groups can no longer be detected, which takes about 1520 minutes. The clear solution of the dyestutf intermediate thus obtained is coupled, with the addition of 12 parts of sodium carbonate dissolved in parts of water at 5l0 C. and a pH of 6.5-7.5, with 17.5 parts of diazotized 2-aminobenzene-sulphonic acid in 200 parts of water. The resultant red dyestutf has partly crystallised and is separated by the addition of 50 parts of sodium chloride. After filtering off with suction, washing with a dilute sodium hydrochloride solution and drying at 4050 C. under vacuum, the dyestufi is obtained in form of a powder easily dissolving in water with a red colour and having the formula N some HO NH-ooo1 -N=N NaO S some In this dyestutf as well as in the halogenoquinoxaline starting component the position of the chlorine atom could not exactly be determined.

A cotton fabric is impregnated with a solution of 20- 25 C. containing per litre of liquor 25 g. of the above dyestuft and 0.5 g. of a non-ionogenic wetting agent (e.g. a polyoxyethylated oleyl alcohol), 150 g. of urea and 20 g. of sodium carbonate. Subsequently the fabric is squeezed 01f between two rubber rollers to a moisture content of about 100%. After intermediate drying at 50'60 C,. the material is heated to 140 C. for 10 minutes, the dyeing thus obtained thoroughly rinsed with hot Water and treated at the boiling point for 20 minutes with a solution containing 5 g. of Marseille soap and 2 g. of sodium carbonate per litre. After rinsing and drying, a brilliant red dyeing is obtained having very good fastness to wet processing, rubbing and light.

According to one of the other dyeing or printing processes described in Examples 1 to 3, 18 and 30, clear red shades of good fastness properties are likewise obtained on materials of cellulose or synthetic polyamides.

The 3- or 2 chloroquinoxaline 6-carboxylic acid chloride used in this example is obtained in the following way:

1 mol of 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid and 1 mol of monochloracetic acid are boiled under reflux in a weakly ammoniacal aqueous solution for one hour. The clear solution is rendered strongly alkaline with sodium hydroxide solution, treated with 1,2 mol of hydrogen peroxide at room temperature and stirred for another hour at 70 C. The 2- or 3-monohydroxy-quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid 1 5 is isolated by acidification, dried and boiled under refiux With 6 mols of thionyl chloride and some dimethyl formamide until hydrogen chloride no longer evolves. After distilling off the excess thionyl chloride the residual 2- or 3-monochloro-quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride is distilled in a high vacuum.

Example 68 When proceeding as indicated in Example 18 but adding to the aqueous suspension of the dyestuff intermediate obtained from 1-amino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid and 2,3-dichloro-quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride after the suspension was made up with water to 400 parts, 11.5 parts of the monosodium salt of thioglycolic acid dissolved in 50 parts of Water and neutralising the hydrochloric acid liberated at 45 C. by means of soda solution in order to keep the pH value of the mixture at 5 to 7, a thinly liquid suspension of a monochloro quinoxaline derivative is obtained after 3 hours reaction. The product thus obtained is coupled with 17.5 parts of diazotised o-sulfanilic acid in the presence of 12 parts of soda, the dyestulf of the following constitution thus being obtainable:

N 1 OC-Q Isl s-cra-coom q \N/ It can be used for printing of cellulosic material in the presence of sodium bicarbonate or dyeing of cellulosic materials from a long bath at 80 C. in the presence of soda. Clear red shades are obtained which possess good wet fastness properties and good fastness to rubbing and to light.

Example 69 6.2 parts of 2,3-dichloro-6-amino-quinoxaline are stirred in 30 parts by volume of glacial acetic acid and then treated with 8 parts by volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid, 100 parts of ice and 2 parts of sodium nitrite. After stirring at 5 C. for /2 hour, the amine has dissolved and diazotization is completed. The excess nitrous acid is removed and a solution of 10 parts of the sodium salt of 1-(2',5'-dichloro-4-sulfophenyl)-3-methylpyrazo lone-() in 100 parts of water is added. After neutralisation with concentrated sodium hydroxide solution to pH 4 in a stirrer with good ice-cooling, the coupling is completed. The precipitated dyestulf of the formula 16 is filtered off, washed and dried at 45 C. under vacuum. The dyestuff dyes cellulose materials according to the process described in Example 3 in reddish yellow shades fast to light and wet processing.

Example 27.5 parts of 2-methylamino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-7- sulphonic acid sodium salt are dissolved in 150 parts of Water, treated with 26.5 parts of finely powdered 2,3- dichloro-quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride and stirred at 3540 C. for /2 hour while continuously neutralising the hydrochloric acid formed by adjusting the pH to 4-6 with a total of 34 parts by volume of a 16% sodium carbonate solution. Acylation is completed already after 15 minutes, the pH is 6 and does not change any more.

By the addition of 200 parts of water, the partially crystallised reaction product is dissolved at 45 C. 30 parts of sodium bicarbonate are then added and a diazo suspension from 34 parts of the disodium salt of Z-aminonaphthalene-l,7-disulphonic acid in 200 parts of water is added dropwise at 40 C. within 15 minutes. The reactive dyestufl? immediately formed and having the formula S OaNa is after-stirred for an hour and then completely separated by the addition of parts of sodium chloride, filtered off, washed with a dilute sodium chloride solution and dried under vacuum at 45 C. The dyestuif dyes cellulose materials according to the processes described above in reddish orange shades of very good fastness to wet processing and good fastness to chlorine.

If in this example instead of 26.5 parts of 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline 6 carboxylic acid chloride equivalent amounts of 2,3-dibromoquinoxaline 6 carboxylic acid bromide or 2- or 3-monobromoquinoxaline 6-carboxylic acid bromide are used and the method of preparation is otherwise carried out as indicated above an orange reactive dyestuff is obtainable which likewise dyes cotton and regenerated cellulose orange shades of dyeing properties similar to those obtainable with the corresponding 2,3- dichloro derivative.

In a similar manner orange to red reactive dyestuffs are obtained by acylation of the aminonaphthol-sulphonic acids listed in the following table with 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline-G-carboxylic acid chloride and coupling of the resultant acylamino-naphthol-sulphonic acids with the diazo components mentioned in column 2.

acid (saponified) Dyestufis with similar properties are obtained analogously to the working method described above from the copper complexes of the azo dyestuifs prepared from the diazo and azo components listed in the following table:

21 Example 202 The reaction product from 1,3-diaminobenzene-6-sulfonic acid and 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline--carboxylic acid chloride obtained according to the method given in Example 30, is coupled in sola-alkaline medium with 40 parts of 1 acetylamino 8 hydrxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid. The dyestuff thus formed is isolated as in Example 30. It dissolves in water and dyes cellulose-containing materials, particularly textile materials of cotton and regenerated cellulose, with the aid of soda as acid-binding agent from a long liquor at 40 C. in the so-called cold pad batch process or according to the pad steam or pad dry heat fixing process (at 140 C.) bluish red shades which distinguish themselves by very good fastness to wet processing, to rubbing and to light and which are good dischargeable to white.

Example 203 A fabric of cotton or staple fibre is impregnated on a foulard at 20 to 25 C. with a solution which contains per litre 30 g. of the dyestuff described in Example 18, 100 g. of urea and 20 g. of soda. The fabric is squeezed off to a moisture content of 100% and the moist fabric then rolled up. After 4 to 24 hours storing at room temperature the fabric is rinsed in water and soaped at the boil and dried. One obtains a clear bluish red dyeing having good fastness to wet processing, to rubbing and to light.

Example 204 A cellulosic fabric is printed with a printing paste which contains per kilogram 30 g. of the dyestutf described in Example 18, 100 g. of urea, 300 g. of water, 500 g. of alginate thickening (containing 60 g. of sodium alginate per kg. of thickening), 10 g. of soda and 10 g. of the sodium salt of 3-nitrobenzene-sulfonic acid, the printing paste being made up to 1 kilogram with Water, and the fabric is after intermediate drying steamed in a suitable steaming apparatus at 103 to 115 C. for 30 seconds. After rinsing and soaping at the boil a strong bluish red print having good fastness to wet processing, rubbing and to light is thus obtainable.

Example 205 100 parts of a woollen fabric are introduced at 40 C. into a dye-bath which contains in 5 l. of water 1.5 parts of the reactive dyestutf described in Example 70 as Well as 6 parts of 30% acetic acid and 0.5 part of a poly- 22 hydroxyethylated hydroxyl group-containing stearyl amine derivative. The dye-bath is heated to the boil within 30 minutes and dyeing continued at this temperature for one hour. The dyed fabric is then rinsed in water and dried, a brilliant orange shade thus being obtainable having excellent fastuess to washing, milling and light.

Example 206 26.5 parts of finely powdered 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline- I NOaS It is filtered, again dissolved in 3 l. of water at pH 6 to 7 and precipitated from the filtered solution by means of sodium chloride. The dyestuff is filtered with suction and dried.

Example 239 The condensation product of the sodium salt of 1- amino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid and 2,3- dichloroquinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride which is obtainable according to the method given in Example 18 is diluted with 400 parts of water, and 19.5 parts of the sodium salt of l-aminobenzene-3-sulfonic acid dissolved in little water are added. The mixture is then adjusted to a pH of 2.5 to 3 with some hydrochloric acid and stirred at 45 to 50 C. for 4 hours. During this reaction time the pH is kept at 2.5 to 3 by addition in parts of a total of 5.3 parts of soda dissolved in little water. When l-aminO- benzene-3-sulfonic acid is no longer detectable by diazotisation and coupling (color formation) the reaction mixture is neutralised with soda to pH 6 and, after the addition of further 12 parts of soda, combined at 5 to C. with the diazonium salt solution from 9.3 parts of aniline. The desired dyestuff immediately precipitates; it has the formula After filtering with suction it is redissolved neutral in 2 l. of water at 50 C.

After stirring at 0 to 5 C. for half an hour the amine has completely dissolved and the diazotisation has finished. Excess nitric acid is destroyed and the diazonium salt solution filtered. It is then allowed to run with ice cooling into a solution of 18.1 parts of N,N-di-(fl-hydroxyethyl)-aniline in 200 parts of Water and 10 parts by volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid.

The following products are after-sulfonated at 20 to 30 C. with 5% oleum:

ratio of 4:1. Such a mixture can be prepared from the corresponding copper phthalocyanine trisulfonic acid -amino-4-(7'-amino-naphthyl-[2](-amino-anthraquinone -2-sulionic acid. Condensation product obtained from combining 1 mol of cyanuric chloride, 1 moi of 1,4-diaamino-anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid, 1 mol of aniline-2,5-disulfon1c acid and 1 mol of ethylene diamine (half partly condensed) when acylated with 2,3-dichloro-quinoxaline-G-carboxylic acid yields a violet reactive dyestufi.

Example 272 A solution of 107 parts of a mixture from equal molecular parts of copper phthalocyanine-(3,3',3")-trisulfonic acid-mono-(m-amino-p-sulfophenyl)-amide and copper phthalocyanine (3,3',3")-trisulfonic acid-di- (m-amino-psulfophenyD-amide are made up with water to a volume of 1.3 l. and adjusted to pH 6; into this solution 40 parts of finely powdered 2,3-dichloro-quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride are introduced at 20 to 25 C. The temperature is increased, while stirring, for about 5 to 10 C. each hour and finally kept at 45 to 50 C. for several hours. At the same time the pH of the reaction mixture is kept at about 6.1 to 6.9 by adding dropwise 3 11 sodium hydroxide solution. Stirring and adjusting of the pH is continued until, on an average, each dyestuff molecule is provided with at least one dichloro-quinoxaline-carboxylic acid amide residue. The final step of the reaction can easily be detected from the amount of soda-lye consumed and from determination of free amino groups.

The 2,3-dichloro-quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid can likewise be used in form of its solution in acetone.

When the reaction has finished the dyestufi solution is heated to 80 C. whereupon non-reacted 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline--carboxylic acid chloride is saponified; the hydrolised product can be separated by filtration or in other separating means. The desired dyestuff is precipitated from the filtered dyestuif solution by adding 150 parts of common salt. It is then filtered with suction and dried in a vacuum or at atmospheric pressure at about 50 C. One obtains 195 to 200 g. of a product which still contains about 30% common salt. The salt can be removed by stirring the cooled dyestuff with 250 parts of water and again filtering it.

The dyestuif thus obtainable dyes cellulosic materials, particularly textiles of cotton and regenerated cellulose from a long bath in the presence of soda at 40 to 80 C., and according to the cold pad batch process or by the pad steam or pad dry heat fixing process at 140 C. turquoise shades which exhibit very good fastness to wet processing, to rubbing and to light.

The starting material used in this example can be obtained according to methods known as such, for instance by adding at 0 to C. and at a pH of about 6.5 3 mols of 2,4-diaminobenzene sulfonic acid to an aqueous suspension of snlfonic acid group free copper phthalocyaninetrisulfonic acid chloride and simultaneously catalysing the condensation reaction with 3 mols of pyridine, whereupon the aforementioned mixture of the copper phthalocyanine sulfonamides is formed.

Similar reactive dyestuffs are obtainable if as a starting material a mixture is used which contains the two diiferent copper phthalocyanine sulfonamide components in the chloride and 2 mols of 2,4-diaminobenzene-sulfonic acid.

Instead of the given starting materials other starting compounds may be used such as those containing nickel as central atom instead of copper or the sulfonamides obtained by the afore-mentioned processes from copper phthalocyanine-4trisulfonic acid-chloride or from phthalocyanine- 3,4,4",4-tetrasulfonic acid chloride or from phthalocyanine-4-tetrasulfonic acid chloride; similar dyes are also obtainable if as arylene diamine sulfonic acid toluylene-diamine-(2,4)-su1fonic acid-(5), 4,4-diarnin0- dibenzyl-disulfonic acid-(2,2), naphthylene diamine- (1,5 )-disu1fonic acid-(3,7) are employed. All those starting products and the methods for their preparation are known from literature. The condensation with 2,3-dichloro-quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride follows the above prescription.

Green reactive dyestuffs can be obtained if 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline-G-carboxylic acid chloride is condensed with appropriate copper and nickel phthalocyanine intermediates such as the products obtained by polysulfochlorination of 3-tetra-(p-tolyl-mercapto)-copper phthalocyanine by means of chlorosulfonic acid, with 1,3-phenylene-diamine-4-sulfonic acid or 1,4-phenylene-diamine-3- sulfonic acid in such a ratio that about 1 to 2 sulfochloride groups are to react with 1 mol of the phenylene di-' amine compound, and finally hydrolising the remaining sulfochloride groups. In a similar manner simple or mixed amino and sulfo group-containing arylation or alkylation products of trior tetramercapto copper or nickel phthalocyanine can be acylated at the amino groups with 2,3-dich1oro-quinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride thus yielding valuable green reactive dyestufis.

Example 273 If in the Working method given in Example 240 33.6 parts of finely powdered N-methyLN-(2,3-dichloroquinoxaline-6-carbonyl)-aminoacetylchloride are used instead of 26.5 parts of 2,3-dichloro-quinoxaline-S-canboxylic acid chloride, and adding the acid chloride to the aqueous solution of the sodium salt of 1-amino-8-hydroxynaphtha- 1ene-3,6-disulfonic acid, performing the acylation, coupling the reaction product with diazotised Z-aminobenzene-sulfonic acid, salting out, filtering and drying as indicated in Example 240, the dyestuif which in the free acid state corresponds to the formula is obtained. It dyes cellulosic fibres, synthetic polyamides and wool according to the preceding instructions bluish red shades of good fastness to wet processing, to rubbing and to light.

Example 274 71.2 parts of a dyestulf which was obtained by coupling tetrazotised 4,4 diamino-3,3'-dimethyl-diphenyl- 6,6'-disulfonic acid on the one side with l-hydroxynaphthalene-4-sulfonic acid and on the other side with phenol are dissolved at pH 7 in 200 to 300 parts of water and treated with 30 parts of finely powdered 2,3-dichloro quinoxaline-6-sulfonic acid chloride. The mixture is thoroughly agitated and the pH value kept at 9 to 7 by continuous addition of a total of 5.5 parts of soda. If a sample of the dyestuff solution shows no longer a strong color change when soda solution and acetic acid is added, the formed reactive dyestulf of the formula SOaH CH3 l l N l C H: N

is salted out, filtered and dried in a vacuum at 40 to 50 C. The dyestuff dyes wool from weakly acid to neutral bath scarlet shades which are fast to wet processing and to light.
